They are saying that the noise gear wheels are stuck sideways. Gonna be a hairy landing.

Re: News Alert

At least it's a nice scenic flight doing circles around Catalina island. :D <br /><br />I love how they keep saying "this won't be a crash" and then say "the landing gear could break off and it could go skidding down the runway sideways with lots of sparks". That's not a crash? :eek:

Re: News Alert

There was a cute movie where the plane lands on the I-5. The front hits a Jeep of some kind and the slows down. Granny gives the kid in the jeep the bird all the while doing 10 mph!<br /><br />Glad to see that the pilots can land those things even when something is messed up!
